Just the one match this weekend which took precedence over my County Cup appointment. Morning game fell to the weather and yesterday I actually had a full day of rest. @DartfordFCWomen @ParkwoodLFC

Absolutely disgraceful customer service from @ubereats_uk and @McDonaldsUK I suggest the latter find a new delivery partner. Food delivered 40 mins after time given, 1 hour after preparation and stone cold but “within a reasonable time” no refund. No real person to spk 2 either.

Today’s really enjoyable game in the @LondonFA Sunday Junior Shield. @SCDC_FC v @LarkhallCityFC both teams a credit to their leagues @WESFA_Football @SouthernSunday

Just had to give back my 2nd appointment for this Sunday on the women’s league as details aren’t correct on Full Time! Just ridiculous. I’m now without a game as clubs just can’t be bothered to ensure the correct information for the referee Secretary to appoint.

“As a spectacle he’s spoilt it, the ref” Lee Dixon it’s comments like this that cause referees issues all over the country in parks when they have correctly applied law. @itvfootball @refsupportuk

What a night! @evanescence @kflay

Absolutely gutted to have my first official middle of the season taken away by a poor pitch. Pitch maintenance needs more than just water, especially when it’s shared with athletics (shot putt and hammer). So many ankle breaking holes had no choice but to call it off for safety

How on earth is the referee not being called to the screen to review that?

I would like to thank all the referees in this year’s World Cup for making the grassroots job much more difficult next season.

Just over a day until it’s time to Walk for Jimmy. I’m still short of my target, so I’m adding my link here again if anyone can assist me in getting to my target. It’s gonna be scorching on Saturday so I’m gonna earn it walking from Putney to Tower Bridge! mizenfoundation.enthuse.com/…

A superb read.

Would it even be a commute on the tube without being whacked by someone’s rucksack?

Well that was an interesting refereeing performance #Eng
